Spanish Coupe Grade Saffron Threads

Spanish Coupe Grade Saffron Threads is the best Spanish grade, with all dark crimson red threads. It compares to the other top grade saffron from the other top producing saffron countries. It offers a very potent aroma and flavor, which allows you to achieve the flavor you seek. Saffron is grown in many countries around the world including Spain, Afghanistan, Iran, Greece, India, Morocco, Portugal, Australia, even the United States and many more. Many don’t produce commercial quantities, which is why you mostly see Spanish Saffron.

Saffron (Crocus Sativus) is the most expensive spice in the world because of its harvesting process which is all done by hand. It takes anywhere from 50,000 to 75,000 flowers to collect enough threads (the stigmas) for one pound of saffron. This is about 200,000 threads.

It is most famously used in Spanish Paella, which gives it the familiar flavor and color. It is also used to season Rice Pilaf, Italian Risotto and Mexican rice. In India, it’s used in Biryani and in France, it’s an ingredient in Bouillabaisse. You will also see Saffron in breads and other baked goods.

Saffron is used in spice blends, adding its unique flavor which helps to bring out the other spices. We use saffron in our Maharajah Curry Spice as one example.

Saffron has a long shelf life if properly kept in a tight glass jar, out of direct light and away from any heat. For best results, crumble or grind the thread just prior to use.

We also carry Spanish Superior Grade Saffron Threads. It’s the grade below Coupe, but is still considered a top grade with an excellent flavor and aroma. It costs a bit less if you want to save
